Executive Summary

New vehicle sales in Bulgaria declined by a staggering 50% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 4,645 units in January-February, according to estimates from the Bulgarian Union of Automative Importers (SVAB).

This indicates that the country's autos industry is heading for a sharp downturn after a 4.6% y-o-y increase in sales to 57,927 units last year.

In the absence of local manufacturing facilities, foreign firms mainly operate through authorised distributors. Despite its small size, the market is highly competitive in the presence of a large number of carmakers. In the first two months of 2009, the new car market was dominated by Volkswagen (VW), which occupies nearly 12.5% of the market share, with sales totalling 555 units. Citroën, operating through Avtomotor, sold 471 vehicles to take a 10.6% share. The third position is shared by Ford Motor and Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod (GAZ), each occupying a 10.5% share and selling 371 vehicles each. Up until this time last year, Opel was the best-seller thanks to its network of ten dealerships. In 2009, however, it occupies fifth place after annual sales plummeted from 1,009 to 321 units, giving it a market share of just 7.2%.

In contrast to sales of passenger cars, the commercial vehicles segment has performed well in 2008. Total sales of trucks and buses reached 4,115 in 2008, representing an increase of 24%. Mercedes-Benz was the leading brand in 2008, with growth clocking in at 18.3%, giving it a market share of 35.2%. However, the rapid growth of Iveco has made the margins for companies reaching top position much narrower, and in 2009, BMI expects the company to overtake Mercedes. However, there have been reports that sales for trucks and buses deteriorated significantly in December. This was because clients were delaying purchases while they waited to see how the economic situation developed. Indeed, in February 2009, total sales of trucks and buses stood at 195. If sales continue at this rate then 2009 will witness a near 50% contraction. This is understandable as industrial producers scale back production, resulting in less demand in the road haulage sector.

According to estimates from the National Statistical Institute (NSI), more than half of the trucks imported into Bulgaria come from Greece. In fact, the NSI estimates that out of the total truck-based trade between Bulgaria and EU nations, more than two-thirds are Greek imports.

Bulgaria has a strong national and international haulage sector due to the country's geographical position close to Greece, Turkey, and the Black Sea. This, along with EU accession, has driven growth in commercial vehicles sales. In 2008, Bulgaria was one of the world's fastest-growing commercial vehicles markets, albeit from a low base.
